"I am directed to request that you will be good enough
at an early date to bring to the attention of the Senate
of the University of British Columbia the following
resolutions which were passed on thel8th instant at a
meeting of the joint Board of Examiners composed of University
and High School men as well as of Officials of the
Education Department:-

Chilliwack High School who failed to write the paper
on Agriculture at the recent examination be recommended
to the Senate of the University of British Columbia
for pass standing in Agriculture:-
Charles McKenxie Barton, Theodore George Currie,
Robert Allan Muir, Viola Jane Evans, Harry Graham
Fulton and Alice Frances Stringer.
The first three of the above left the Chilliwack school
before the end of June 1918, as soldiers of the soil, and
claim to have been granted pass standing by the University
authorities. The other three claim that they wrote the
Junior Matriculation paper in Agriculture, in June 1918,
and were of the opinion their answer papers had been
forwarded to the Education Department. The papers were
never received by this office but as the candidates acted
in good faith, the committee felt they should not be
made to suffer.

i ' culation candidate of King Edward High. School, who, though *!BK*".[-'."'»'.
